Fall 2026 Laboratory Service LearningUpper Division
These courses provide an opportunity for undergraduate students to engage in an authentic and extended design experience in community-based projects and designing a solution for a community organization. Students will work on interdisciplinary and vertically integrated teams (first-year through seniors) with faculty, staff, industry and alumni volunteers, and graduate student mentors to address these real-world design challenges. Students will participate in professional development activities that include topics related to design, documentation and technical writing, communication, leadership and teamwork, ethics, project management, risk assessment, information literacy, and introduction to a broad range of applicable disciplinary topics, technologies and development tools.
Learning Outcomes1Apply engineering design to create a product that meets the specified needs of this engineering design experience with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
2Develop and conduct experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions related to the development of the product of this engineering design experience.
3Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems arising from this engineering design experience by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
4Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives associated with this design experience.
5Communicate effectively with a range of audiences appropriate to this design experience in both a written report and oral presentation.
6Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies to complete the engineering design experience associated with this course.
7Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities associated with this engineering design experience and make informed judgments which must consider the impact of the product of this engineering design experience in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
